OPEN CALL: ITERATION REITERATION
Patterns and repetitive elements, integral to the art and design of countless cultures and artistic methods, offer viewers a framework to interpret information through recurring arrangements. How do these elements shape perception of art and the world?
This open call seeks artwork that embraces pattern and repetition as the focal point, a complementary element within a piece, or as a fundamental part of the creative process. From symmetrical arrangements, geometric precision, minimalist repetition, and organic flows, Iteration Reiteration embraces the power of patterns and repetition.
All visual mediums are accepted including but not limited to painting, printmaking, fiber, video and animation, photography, sculpture, ceramics, collage, and mixed media. Works must be original and completed within the past five years. This exhibition will include both a physical gallery show located in Washington, DC and a virtual exhibition.
